VISPA™ ACTUATORS
‘VA’ SERIES RACK AND PINION PNEUMATIC ACTUATORS
Reliable and cost effective

Reliability is always the first requirement in any facility. Most of the

time, you will have to go through difficult selection on wide
offerings of pneumatic and electric products in the market to
ensure your choice will match your precise requirements of each
installation. At the same time, cost is always part of the criteria
during the selection process. To maintain productivity and
profitability, you need to ensure your equipments are able to
function with years of trouble-free operation and easy installation
throughout the lifecycle.

The VISPA™ Actuators Peerless ‘VA’ series double-opposed piston

rack and pinion actuators combine the benefits of high cycle life, a
rugged construction, and an extremely compact and symmetrical
design with a unique range of features and options. They are
specifically designed for fast efficient operation of ball, butterfly,
and other quarter turn rotary type valves.

VISPA™ - The ‘VA’ Series
Over 10 years of valve automation experience provides true wealth per torque value.

VISPA™ rack and pinion actuators are designed to automate the most popular quarter turn valves like
ball, butterfly and plug valves and are easily adaptable for almost any other quarter turn (90° rotation)
application.

The ‘VA’ series are constructed from high quality extruded aluminium and with end caps from cast aluminium.
The internal and external surface of actuator body is hard anodized for longer life with advanced anti corrosion
technology.

The ‘VA’ series actuators can be operated with dry or lubricated air or non-corrosive gas and will operate
continuously at pressures up to 8 bar / 120 psi. Capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures between
-20°C to +80°C/-4°F to 176°F. These actuators will provide years of service for indoor and outdoor applications.

Dual travel stops mounted near the top of the pinion allow for fine adjustment to the opening and closing
strokes ensuring that valve operations are confirmed as fully open or closed. This feature also allows for re-
configuration at site or in the workshop.
